A chip van near Borough Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Borough Green
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We’re often asked to cater fundraisers and music and food festivals, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In Borough Green, one popular trader keeps it simple. Fish and chips does exactly that. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, events in Borough Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
